I think I need to update myself on all those #typhoon's & #hurricane's 'cuz they've multiplied like crazy 😬

JMA is now tracking not one, not two, but THREE typhoons in East Asia. No.10 (#Damrey) has swifted back away from Japan, whereas No.11 (#Haikul) is expected to hit Okinawa in 3-4 days. Typhoon No.9 (#Saola) has been constantly drifting around Philippines, I can't think how much rain it already dumped to Manila 😬

A lot going on in the Tropics worldwide, but all eyes are on #Idalia!
